There are a lot of powered amplifier docks for the iPhone and iPod touch, and sadly most of them are lacking in beauty and originality. Italian design firm en&is is bucking the trend with a unique unpowered amplifier that is a large, swooping ceramic horn.
The Megaphone ranges from €399 for the black and white models to €599 for the gold version. A hand-crafted wood stand holds the Megaphone in an upright position, and a user just needs to set an iPhone into the dock at the top to hear tunes blasting out of the bottom.
It’s a beautiful take on a passive amplifier and would make a nice holiday gift. Check out the video below for details.
